Being connected through JANUN helped me to find connections in other active groups and get started!

A climate justice camp brought me to JANUN back then. What I like about JANUN is that it is not a group but a network, connecting diverse groups and topics, while the decisions are left to young people.

I got involved with JANUN at the festival because I enjoy working with other great people to set up a cool project for a good cause.

My voluntary ecological year gave me a space where I could continue my education and develop freely. JANUN showed me how much fun and how easy it is to develop and implement your own environmental projects.

I learned a great deal through working together with the association and implementing projects. I could always count on the support of the JANUN team.

Prevention of sexualised violence

At JANUN, we reject all forms of violence. Sexual violence can have a lasting impact on the lives of those affected. That is why it is important to protect people from it.

In the "JA!Nee" project, we are creating structures to prevent sexual violence. In our open steering group, we are developing a protection concept so that everyone at JANUN can feel safe and know what to do in cases of sexual violence.

Part of our protection concept is also our complaints structure.

Those who want to volunteer in youth work should know about various things. These include, for example, pedagogical skills, conflict management, and legal foundations. You will learn all of this in the Juleica training.

Educational work in a different way: hidden object pictures

WiNDi Foto von verschiedenen Materialien

Together with other groups, we have developed hidden object pictures to make complex topics intuitively visible. For example, for school lessons. They are available as posters, postcards, banners and digitally. We also have handouts that give you more information.

Currently, the topics covered are nutrition, climate & migration, queer, digitalisation & sustainability.
